It has been so long The same voice had sung a thousand songs Each day a battle to remain strong Standing on the right side, but all feels wrong Precarious wants, dubious desires Trembling feet crossing a string of quagmires I danced, but never on a stage made of wires My need for certainty is indubitably dire Call for help only from a trusted friend Shattered glass hearts are difficult to mend A soul that espoused strolls pressured to ride the trend Gravel and sand are known to never blend Instruments thirsty for power play harmonious notes Imperious waves swallowing quiescent boats Wails and screams incarcerated in throats Every motion a command from shrouded remotes I wish to find the nearest escape Be free to embody my envisioned shape I will sketch and color my preferred landscape But these self-proclaimed kings hunger for another grape

The Wish
It has been so long The same voice had sung a thousand songs Each day a battle to remain strong Standing on the right side, but all feels wrong Precarious wants, dubious desires Trembling feet crossing a string of quagmires I danced, but never on a stage made of wires My need for certainty is indubitably dire Call for help only from a trusted friend Shattered glass hearts are difficult to mend A soul that espoused strolls pressured to ride the trend Gravel and sand are known to never blend Instruments thirsty for power play harmonious notes Imperious waves swallowing quiescent boats Wails and screams incarcerated in throats Every motion a command from shrouded remotes I wish to find the nearest escape Be free to embody my envisioned shape I will sketch and color my preferred landscape But these self-proclaimed kings hunger for another grape
